| 释义 | 〔quacksalver〕A quack or charlatan.庸医或江湖骗子〔quack〕Relating to or characteristic of a quack:庸医的：有关庸医的或有庸医特征的：〔charlatan〕A person who makes elaborate, fraudulent, and often voluble claims to skill or knowledge; a quack or fraud.See Synonyms at impostor 假内行，庸医，骗子：精心制作或制造欺骗的人，而且对自己的技术或知识常常夸大其辞的人；江湖医生或骗子 参见 impostor〔charlatan〕A charlatan and chatter are inseparable,even perhaps in the etymology ofcharlatan. According to one explanation,charlatan goes back through French to Italian ciarlatano, "mountebank, fraud,” from the wordciarlare, "to chatter.” Another explanation would derivecharlatan from the Italian word cerretano, "an inhabitant of Cerreto, a quack,” the village of Cerreto being noted for its charlatans.It seems, however, that bothciarlare and cerretano have been involved in the formation of the Italian word. The first example of the English word and of its earliest recorded sense,"huckster, especially of medicines, who gives his pitch to a crowd; mountebank,” is found in 1618.The sense familiar to us,"a person pretending to skill or knowledge,”is first recorded in 1809.“冒充内行者”与“喋喋不休”是分不开的，甚至也许在charlatan 的词源上。 根据一种解释，charlatan 可以由法语追溯到意大利语的 ciarlatano， “江湖郎中，骗子”， 其来自ciarlare “喋喋不休”。 另一种解释是从意大利词cerretano 派生出 charlatan， “塞利托的居民，庸医，” 以其庸医闻名的塞利托村。但似乎ciarlare 与 cerretano 两个词都与这个意大利词的形成有关。 这个英语词第一个例子以及它最早记载的意义，“大吹大擂推销商品的人，尤指向人群推销药品的人；江湖医生，”见于1618年。对于我们熟悉的含义，“冒充在技能和知识上内行的人，”最早记载于1809年〔quack〕A charlatan; a mountebank.See Synonyms at imposter 庸医，江湖郎中 参见 imposter〔impostor〕"He who has once been under the hands of a quack, is for ever after prone to dabble in drugs" (Washington Irving).Afaker simulates or feigns the appearance of being what he or she is not: “曾经遭受庸医之苦的人，之后永远有涉猎药物的倾向” （华盛顿·欧文）。faker 假扮或假装并非他或她自身的外表： 〔nostrum〕A medicine whose effectiveness is unproved and whose ingredients are usually secret; a quack remedy.秘方：药效未被证明且成份通常是秘密的药；庸医治疗法 |
